We understand that the Council's current intention is to re-open four to six libraries from mid-July, depending on progress with the Government’s relaxation of the lockdown, and the practical limitations of each library's layout. 

Initial indications are that book loans will be on a click-and-collect basis, with titles ordered by phone or on-line, with only the librarians having access to the books.  Internet access via the library computers will be by prior appointment only, with priority for those needing them for work purposes. Events will not return for some while.

The Lambeth Pulse Survey aims to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on Lambeth residents and identify ways in which the Council can effectively provide support to residents going forward. To ensure the success of this research and the representativeness of the findings, Lambeth Council and a research company aim to speak to 2000 adults and 200 young people. So far a significant number of responses have been received from adults but more participation is needed from young people (ages 11-17).   

Homes for Lambeth are running a paid internships summer placement scheme, for either six  or 12 weeks. This is for young people not currently in paid work elsewhere, with priority to those living on estates that Homes for Lambeth is due to rebuild.
